Bigg Boss Malayalam is officially gearing up for its much-awaited return. Asianet has released the latest 10-second teaser promo for Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8, confirming that the popular reality show will soon be back on television.
While the promo announces the arrival of the new season, the channel has not yet revealed the official launch date, telecast timing, or premiere schedule. One interesting detail noticed by fans is that the teaser does not feature Mohanlal, who has hosted every season of the Malayalam edition since its inception.
Despite his absence from the teaser, Mohanlal is expected to return as the host for the eighth consecutive season, continuing one of the longest and most successful host-show partnerships in Malayalam television.

🎬 First Promo Creates Excitement
The newly released teaser may be only 10 seconds long, but it has successfully reignited excitement among Bigg Boss fans across Kerala.
Instead of revealing contestants or showcasing the house, the promo simply confirms that Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 is Coming Soon on Asianet. The teaser follows the franchise’s tradition of gradually unveiling information, with additional promotional campaigns expected over the coming weeks.
The biggest talking point among viewers has been the absence of Mohanlal from the first teaser. However, this is not unusual, as the channel often reserves the host reveal for later promotional videos closer to the grand launch.
🔥 Agnipareeksha Expected Before the Main Season
Before the grand premiere, viewers are expected to witness the return of Bigg Boss Agnipareeksha, the special pre-season segment introduced to identify deserving common contestants.
Agnipareeksha serves as a talent-based selection process, allowing aspiring participants to compete through multiple rounds of tasks, evaluations and personality assessments before entering the Bigg Boss house.
⭐ What to Expect in Agnipareeksha
- 🎯 Multiple competitive tasks
- 🎤 Personality and communication assessments
- 🏆 Selection of common contestants
- 👥 Screening and evaluation rounds
- ⭐ Former Bigg Boss Malayalam contestants expected as judges and hosts
Unlike the celebrity contestants who receive direct invitations, Agnipareeksha provides an opportunity for talented commoners to earn their place in the competition through merit.
🎭 Mohanlal to Continue as Host
Although Mohanlal does not appear in the newly released promo, all indications suggest that he will once again host the show.
Having successfully led every season of Bigg Boss Malayalam, Mohanlal has become synonymous with the franchise. His weekend episodes, contestant interactions and elimination announcements remain among the biggest attractions of the show.
If confirmed officially, Season 8 will mark Mohanlal’s eighth consecutive year as the host.
